Technology can be regarded as a use of knowledge and tools As well as systems in performing a given duty to produce a better results in an easy way. Technology can also be said is a use of materials to perform a duty and the results in a more convenient manner. Technology has an effect on the way human does his job and also in ability on how he would adapt to his environment. The use of technology begun with the use of natural resources to make simple tools that were used to make work easy and have a control on what is being done. Technology has benefits to human and his working environment.

Benefits of technology

There are several benefits that are associated with technology and have helped in different ways in performing different tasks in different fields. Most companies are concentration on advancing their technology so as they can be able to have better income and improve performance in different fields of work.

Technology has helped in different fields in the company including networking. Initially, networking was done manually with use of connecting cables but now, with advancement of technology, it has become possible to have wireless connectivity of networks (Ambrose, 2001). This may include the LAN (Local area networking) or the WAN (Wide area networking). With proper implementation of networking technology, it provides unique capabilities to the users as well as the administrators. There are association of network and software. They work together to provide connections of different networks which in turn have become beneficial to all who uses the implemented network (Ruth, 1999).

Computers have helped in different ways. Initially, for example, mails were just sent on written form on papers, but with the advancement of technology and software, it has become possible for people to send electronic mails over the internet which is fast and instant, provided the send and the receiver are interconnected and they have the required infrastructure. The network technology have shortened the distance between the sender and the receiver of information, for instance, with a computer and internet connections and live chat software, it has been possible to have a live chat between individuals no matter the distance and in some cases an online conferencing (Frank, 2007).

Technology has also made it possible for sharing hardware in the organization. For instance, an organization may have different individuals on computers and in different departments are able to use one printer. This is a benefit of networking in an organization which was initially done through either connecting the printer to the processing computer or save the data to be printed to a portable devise and use the connected computer to print the document.

Networking technology has on the other hand helped in data management. The data that has been store in the system is easily accessible from anywhere by the users. This helps in managing data as it can be edited, improved or added from any corner provided there is connection. Initially, it was hard to manage data outside the organization as this was only done in a specific computer (Oakley, 1976).

Conclusion

Technology has really changed how work is done. Through the technology, most jobs are well done and take shorter duration than before the inclusion of technology in the work. It has helped save space as there are some of the devises that are being shared probably by the whole organization. Technology has made work easy and fast. With technology, time management has become very possible

Writing sport articles are different from writing sports news. The two are considered to be the same by many people around the world. But it is different in many senses, as there are numerous technicalities involved which you have to follow while writing both of them. These factors are completely different from each other.

Any good writer can differentiate between these two, and can set the criteria to explain it as sport articles are the detailed description of a particular sports category, event, player, authority, equipment or all of them in thorough explanation. The sports news is a concise description of a latest happening, following a summary pattern.

The purpose of a sports article is to describe while that of daily sports news is just to inform. Similarly, the tone of a description is explanatory while that of sports news is informational. Though, a lot of people get confused in this but it is a very simple thing for a reporter to comprehend.

The introduction of new media technology has made it far convenient to communicate both sport articles and sports news. News world has accelerated on a pace faster than ever before. Sports news specifically from diverse categories can now be broadcasted almost instantaneously on a mass level with the help of internet.

In Forex trading, there are many ways to analyze the market and predict it. All the analyzing methods will come down to two basic types, either they are fundamental analysis or technical analysis. You can either use the methods individually or you can combine them to use. Fundamental analysis is a process where you take consideration to news releases and research on companies information to predict possible market movements. Technical analysis is a process where you make predictions to possible market movements by analyzing chart patterns. Advance traders uses combination of multiple indicators to predict the market value. In this article, we will concentrate on technical analysis.

There are many approaches to technical analysis for Forex trading. They can be as simple as just reading and predicting from candle sticks of the chart or to as complicated as having multiple indicators to one charts and combine the readings for trading decisions. If you ask me what the best technical analysts is so far, I would say anything that works for you is the best technical analysts. It is as simple as that yet can be very hard to achieve. People can spend months to find that very method which will work for them. Most of them even spent years finding that very method but still cannot get results. There can be many factors affecting the chance of winning while trading Forex. It could be how genuine the analysis method can be, time of trade, the discipline to follow through the trading system or the greed of winning and fear of losing for one. Any of this can be happening at the same time. At most times especially the beginners, fear of losing and greed of winning is always the main problem. When greed takes over a person, he will want the profits to be even bigger while he is winning. So he holds his position which ends up falling to the losing side eventually. When fear takes over a person, he will be holding a losing position expecting it to break even or even win. This can result in losing more money which are unrecoverable. One must be clear minded and know when to close a position and take profits and the correct time. Emotional trading is never the way.

The best technical analysts that are able to earn millions can be in your hands. But without the right mindset, these so call “best technical analysts” methods cannot perform and you can even lose money with it. So after all, it is not about the whether you have the best technical analysts on your hands or not. It is all about how patience and discipline you are in the trading ground.

So, you’re thinking about writing a technical article. You know, one of those articles with step by step instructions for doing some kind of a process. Well, these articles can actually be quite dull if you stick to the standard step one, step two format. It’s kind of like trying to get excited reading a cook book. So, what I am going to do in this article is give you some tips to make those technical articles not so boring.

Sticking with the same step by step format, the first thing you want to do is give your reader the step. You want to make sure that you’ve outlined it as clearly as possible. There should be absolutely no question as to what they’re supposed to do. Too many step by step guides leave out important information that leads to a person standing over a sink with a screwdriver, not having a clue what to do with it. Okay, be clear.

Here is where we start to put some life into the article. After detailing the step itself, the next thing you want to do is point out something to look for that will make the process go a little better. For example, let’s say you’re writing a step by step guide on how to play Sim City 4. Step one might be to choose a city within your region. That step alone is simple, on the surface, but adding something like, “You probably want to start with a city size that is small to begin with if this is your first one. They’re easier to manage and will give you some good experience that you can use towards building larger cities.”

While the above explanation is not crucial to the actual step itself (choosing a city) it will help the person’s game experience because it’s adding a tip to the step. The more of these you add, the more valuable each step in itself becomes.

In addition to giving tips on what TO do, you might then want to include a warning under each step on something that they should be careful of. For example, let’s say we’re writing an article that’s a step by step set of instructions on formatting a CD. Step one might be as simple as “Open up the CD drive and put the CD in.” But unless somebody knows what the part of the CD is that has to be written to, they may end up putting it in upside down. Therefore, you might want to add something under the step like, “Be careful not to put the CD in upside down. The blue side should be face down when putting the CD in the drive.”

Finally, you might want to include your own experience with each step, especially if it’s a step that lends itself to being expanded upon. For example, let’s say you’re writing a step by step guide on microwaving chicken nuggets. You might want to add something like, “My experience has shown me that when the package says 2 minutes on high, most microwaves, especially as they get older, take a little more time. So you might want to try 2 and a half minutes.”

Adding a personal touch to the article will go a long way to keeping the reader’s attention.

There you have it…three simple tips that should help turn your dull technical article into a work of art…or close to it anyway.

If the prospect of fiddling with wires and boxes has prolonged plans to build that home cinema, Philips may have the solution – the Fidelio E5 – which (after quite a long wait) is now available to buy.

Throwing out some of the, the E5 system consists of two sound towers and a wireless subwoofer. But there’s more to those pillars than meets the eye: the tower tops can be detached, creating an additional two independent wireless speakers to be placed anywhere around the room.

Well, so long as its no further than 20 meters.

Satellite of love

Detaching the satellite speakers will automatically convert the system’s 2.1 stereo to full 5.1 surround sound. You’ve also got the option to use NFC for simple pairing of your wireless gadgets.

We had a play with it back at IFA last year and certainly liked the flexibility the E5 offers up. It also passed our ‘Transformers test’ as we tried the speakers while watching Michael Bay’s third robot romp – with pleasing results.

It’s available for £600 (around $ 1025, AU$ 1094). US and Australia prices are yet to be confirmed but Philips has promised to let us know when it has some figures.

This is the page on which we will gather together all the latest news and rumours about the HTC One M9 release date, price, specs.

We love the HTC One M8: a splendid smartphone with great and stylish build. But it is never too early to start thinking about the next great thing. We know almost nothing about the HTC One M9, but this is the page on which we will collate information and rumour as it comes in. Welcome to our HTC One M9 release date, price, specs page. (See also: The 35 best smartphones: The best phones you can buy in 2014.)

HTC One M9 release date

Cards on the table: no-one, not even HTC, knows when the HTC One M9 launches. HTC has settled into a nice pattern of launching its flagship phone in the Spring, in the weeks after the MWC show.

In 2015 MWC takes place in the first week of March, so expect the HTC One M9 to launch in the third week of 2015. Generally speaking availability in the UK follows a couple of weeks later. (See also: 34 best Android smartphones in UK: What’s the best Android phone you can buy in 2014?)

HTC One M9 price

Again HTC has been pretty consistent in its pricing of its top end HTC One smartphones. The original HTC One M7 went on sale for around £500 before settling back to £450. Fast forward to the HTC One M8 and the original SRP was £550, although you can now get it slightly cheaper if you shop around.

Components get cheaper over time, but inflation goes up. And HTC needs to make a decent wedge from each handset. The next-gen HTC One will have flagship specs, so expect it to retail for something between £500 and £600. (See also: 8 cheapest 4G smartphones in the UK 2014: Best budget 4G phones.)

HTC One M9 specs

It’s way too early to say with any confidence what spefication to expect when the HTC One M9 launches next year. But expect nothing less than the very best available to the market at the time.

Key questions include whether HTC will stay with ARM processors, or if there is any chance of Intel muscling its way into top-level smartphones. Will 4K smartphones be so di rigeur that the HTC One M9 sports an Ultra HD display?

We do expect a larger display, in a similarly sized handset.

It will be interesting to see how HTC moves with the ultrapixel camera, too. And expect the HTC One M9 to run the latest version of Android. (See also: What’s the fastest smartphone 2014: processor, graphics, web performance comparison.)

Well-known for its child-friendly tablet, the LeapPad, US-based LeapFrog has announced a brand new games console for kids: the LeapTV.

The LeapTV console will cost £120 when it launches in the UK in October, and will include a controller and an Xbox Kinect-style camera. See also: Leapfrog unveils new LeapPad3 and Ultra XDi kids tablets – UK price and release date.

The motion-sensing camera means that a child can control a game with his or her whole body, meaning they’re active while they’re playing unlike when they use a tablet. The controller has been developed especially for smaller hands – the console is aimed at 3-8 year olds – and has a clever rotating design that means it can convert into a wand or pointer depending on the game.

We spoke to LeapFrog CEO, John Barbour, about the new console. “The essence of LeapTV is creating fun experiences. There’s nothing out there really that involves education; if you look on Amazon.com, there are only 17 suitable games [under the Early Childhood rating scheme], and none have learning in them,” he told PC Advisor.

“For LeapTV, we started with a blank sheet of paper rather than taking something that already existed. We were looking for new ways to entertain and educate kids. Younger children wanted games that were appropriate and easy to play. With the LeapTV they can play straight out of the box. It’s super safe and learning is built in.”

At launch, there will be 100 games and apps available, and LeapFrog will continue to use the familiar cartridge system (these cost a hefty £25 each) as well as offering online downloads from £3.50. The content will be new and not taken from the existing pool of LeapPad games, but if you’ve bought video on other LeapFrog devices, this will be available to watch on LeapTV too. There will be both single- and multiplayer games available.

The LeapTV console comes with eight games:

• LeapFrog Kart Racing: Supercharged!

• Nickelodeon Bubble Guppies

• Disney Pixar Pixar Pals

• LeapFrog Sports! Learning Game

• Ultimate Spider-Man: Sinister Six Showdown!

• Disney Sofia the First: Sofia’s Picnic Games

• LeapFrog Dance Party!

• Disney Jake and the Never Land Pirates Learning Game

In the LeapTV box you’ll get a camera mount, HDMI cable and a wrist strap for the controller. The console has built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to the internet and 16GB of storage.

The LeapTV isn’t the only product in Leapfrog’s line-up which promotes fitness: it recently announced the LeapBand activity tracker for kids.

We’ll bring you full reviews of the LeapTV, LeapBand and new LeapPad tablets shortly.

One of the most anticipated tablet launches of the year, the iPad 6 or iPad Air 2 or new iPad Air or whatever Apple ends up calling its 2014 iPad will have a fantastic Retina screen, a fast Apple A8 processor, incredibly portable dimensions, brilliant build quality, a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and it will run the brand-new iOS 8.

When is it coming? The past four iPad launches have been held roughly a month after Apple’s latest iPhone launch, so we expect to see the iPad Air 2 / iPad 6 in October.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Microsoft Surface mini

Why is it exciting? A full-spec Windows PC in portable form – what’s not to get excited about? If Microsoft can get this right it can once and for all bring together work and play on a single device.

When is it coming? The Surface mini was widely tipped to launch in May; in fact we got the Surface Pro 3. But rumours suggest the mini does indeed exist, and that Microsoft is anticipating a summer release.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Tesco Hudl 2

Why is it exciting? Last year Tesco launched its Hudl tablet, incredibly well priced at £119 – and you could use your Clubcard points toward it. It was massively appealing to consumers: 35,000 Hudls were sold to consumers in just two days, and Tesco has now sold around half a million. The Hudl 2 can only improve on what is already a very good tablet, and you can expect it to be found in stockings all over the country this Christmas.

When is it coming? September.

NEXT PAGE: Best new smartphones, wearable tech, virtual-reality headsets and more for 2014/2015.

About to buy a new phone, tablet or other consumer tech? WAIT. Here we round up the best new consumer tech products still to launch and about which you should be most excited, from phones, tablets and operating systems to games, virtual-reality headsets, smartwatches and smartglasses.

SMARTPHONES

Why is it exciting? You tell us: our iPhone 6 articlereceived well over a million hits in June alone. It is absolutely the most anticipated smartphone of the year. Or should that be smartphones of the year? The iPhone 6 is supposed to come in two models, with one of the pair finally answering criticism of the iPhone’s tiny 4in screen.

When is it coming? The standard iPhone 6 will arrive in September running iOS 8; for the larger iPhone rumour has it we may be waiting until later this year or early 2015.

Read more about the iPhone 6 UK release date, price and specs and the iPhone Air UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Nexus 6 / Nexus 5 2014 / new Nexus 5

Why is it exciting? The Nexus 5was one of the best Android phones of 2013, a high-end smartphone with a mid-range price. With 64-bit Android L on the horizon, the 2014 Nexus 5 can only get better. What Google will call its Nexus phone is still up in the air – Nexus 6 is a name already used in Blade Runner, and we’re not convinced the new Nexus phone will have a 6in screen.

When is it coming? The past four Nexus phones have all launched in the last quarter of the year. We expect to see the 2014 Nexus 5 / Nexus 6 unveiled in October and on sale in November. That’s if Android Silver doesn’t have its wicked way with the Nexus line-up.

Read more about the Nexus 6 UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Why is it exciting? The Galaxy Note series has a huge following, and the new Note phablet is expected to be a powerful, 5.7in monster with a 4K screen. There may even be a curved-screen variant. As with all Samsung’s Galaxy Note devices it’ll come with the S Pen, and it’ll feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chip with Adreno 420 graphics. Probably.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Nokia Lumia 530

Why is it exciting? The Nokia Lumia 520is the most popular Windows phone to date, and it’s no surprise given its sub-£100 price. But it’s starting to age now, and Nokia would be crazy not to follow up on its huge success. The Nokia 530 could be a 4.3in Windows Phone 8.1 handset measuring 62.3×119.7mm and featuring a removable battery and a microSD slot.

When is it coming? Nothing has yet been confirmed, but as the only one of three Nokia handsets leaked through a Windows Phone 8.1 buying guide back in May we fully expect to see the Nokia Lumia 530 any time now.

Read more about the Nokia Lumia 530 UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Nokia Lumia 1525

Why is it exciting? The Nokia Lumia 530 isn’t the only exciting new Windows phone waiting to launch. The Lumia 1525 is a Windows Phone 8.1 phablet with some impressive specs. In essence a beefed-up Nokia Lumia 1520, we could see a Snapdragon 801 chip, 3GB of RAM, a 3,400mAh battery and a 25- or 30Mp camera. Wow.

When is it coming? TBC.

Read more about the Nokia Lumia 1525 UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Sony Xperia Z3

Why is it exciting? What we love about Sony is the fact it doesn’t make us wait a whole year for a new smartphone to launch, and anyone upgrading their smartphones at this time of year don’t have to settle with technology now several months’ old. Plus, Sony makes some seriously great smartphones, with fantastic cameras, brilliant performance and much more.

When is it coming? With two flagship smartphone launches per year, we’re expecting to see the Sony Xperia Z3 in September.

Read more about the Sony Xperia Z3 UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Sony Xperia Z2 Compact (A2)

Why is it exciting? The Sony Xperia Z2is an amazing smartphone, but it’s huge. The Sony Xperia Z2 Compact will pack all that smartphoney goodness (well, most of it) into a more manageable shell.

When is it coming? The Z2 launched in April, and the Z3 is coming in September, so the Z2 Compact should be with us within the next month or so.

Best new tech 2014/2015: OnePlus Two

Why is it exciting? The OnePlus Oneis an amazing phone if you can get hold of one (purchases are currently by invitation only). It’s priced from £229 but has the spec to match a £600 smartphone, hence OnePlus marketing it as a 2014 flagship killer. The OnePlus Two will more than likely be a 2015 flagship killer. (If it can work out is supply-and-demand issues in time.)

When is it coming? OnePlus is still struggling to meet demand on its OnePlus One phone. Don’t expect to see this one (and certainly not get your hands on it) until at least 2015.

Read more about the OnePlus Two UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Motorola Moto X 1 (X2)

Why is it exciting? Motorola makes some amazing smartphones, and its Moto G is the best budget phone you can buy. The Moto X 1 is expected to be a reasonably priced (the Moto X cost £350 at launch) Android phone that is both larger and lighter than its predecesor. We think it will have a full-HD AMOLED screen, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, 2GB of RAM and an improved camera.

When is it coming? We were hoping to see the Moto X 1 announced at Google I/O, but either it or its companion Moto 360 smartwatchappears to have delayed the launch. Still, both devices could be with us later this month or early next month.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Samsung Galaxy F / S5 Prime

Why is it exciting? The Samsung Galaxy F will address the criticism met by the Samsung Galaxy S5, with a Quad HD screen, a metal body, plus everything else found in the S5.

When is it coming? The Samsung Galaxy F was expected to turn up in June, and instead a Quad HD S5 launched exclusively in Korea. We still think its coming, and with the S5 miniturning up at the beginning of July this one could be ready any day now.

Read more about the Samsung Galaxy F UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: LG G3 mini

Why is it exciting? The LG G3 is the best smartphone of 2014. The G3 mini is a smaller version for smaller hands. We’re sold.

When is it coming? TBC.

Read more about the LG G3 mini UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Ubuntu phone

Why is it exciting? Windows and Mac aren’t the only desktop operating systems out there, just as there’s more to the mobile scene than Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distros, and its coming to smartphones. The developer version is already available (find out how you can get Ubuntu on your phone here), but Canonical will also be releasing two smartphones running the OS out of the box.

When is it coming? This year.

Read more about the Ubuntu phone UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: BlackBerry Passport

Why is it exciting? It’s always exciting when something comes back from the dead – who doesn’t love a zombie film? Jokes aside, BlackBerry is still very much alive (and clearly bonkers). The Passport will throw ergonomics out the window with a new square design that is unlikely to be a comfortable fit in any pocket. But BlackBerry aims to return creativity to smartphone design, which is in itself exciting.

When is it coming? Q4, following a September London launch.

Read more about the BlackBerry Passport UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Tesco Hudl smartphone

Why is it exciting? The Hudl tablet has seen phenomenal success, allowing the masses to enter the world of tablet computing. Tesco’s taking a slightly different tack with its smartphone, however, which will be a high-end device with an aggressive price. Just the type of device we get excited about.

When is it coming? In time for Christmas.

Read more about the Tesco Hudl smartphone UK release date, price and specs.

VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS

Best new tech 2014/2015: Oculus Rift

Why is it exciting? The Oculus Rift is a head-mounted virtual-reality display. An immersive headset that gives the wearer a full 360-degree view of the virtual world they inhabit. The Oculus Rift pairs with headphones to make games, virtual worlds and live events feel ‘real’.

When is it coming? The second-generation developer kit should be with developers by today (14 July), and the Oculus Rift is expected to launch to the public in 2015.

Read more about the Oculus Rift UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Samsung Gear VR

Why is it exciting? A cheaper version of the anticipated Oculus Rift-style virtual-reality headset, the Samsung Gear VR pairs with a docked Samsung smartphone to provide an immersive view of the world around you and could be of great appeal to consumers (or at least those who also own Samsung smartphones).

When is it coming? This year.

Read more about the Samsung Gear VR UK release date, price and specs.

WEARABLE TECH

Best new tech 2014/2015: Apple iWatch

Why is it exciting? Apple won’t be the first manufacturer to produce a smartwatch, but with its iWatch it could potentially turn the current smartwatch market on its head as its iPhone did the smartphone market. A companion device to the iPhone 6, it’s sure to be a massive hit with Apple fans.

When is it coming? Originally expected to arrive with the new iPhone in September, the latest rumours suggest the iWatch has been delayed until November.

Read more about the Apple iWatch UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Motorola Moto 360

Why is it exciting? We’ve seen plenty of smartwatches before, but this is the first one to actually look like a watch. And quite a nice watch, too, with a circular face. Plus it’ll be running Android Wear, which could be Google’s next big success story.

When is it coming? We expected the Moto 360 to arrive at Google I/O along with the Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch. Although it got a mention, Motorola has said simply that it will be coming “later this summer”.

Read more about the Motorola Moto 360 UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Google Glass

Why is it exciting? Words cannot explain this one. Watch our Google Glass video and you’ll see with your own eyes exactly why Google Glass is so incredibly exciting.

When is it coming? Google Glass is available to buy in the UK now, but it isn’t the final version. And it’ll set you back a whopping £1,000 for the privilege of owning Google Glass. The final version is expected to be released to the public later this year – hopefully a little cheaper, too.

Read more about Google Glass UK release date, price and specs.

TV

Best new tech 20145/2015: Apple iTV

Why is it exciting? We all love TV. Some of us (quite a lot of us) also love Apple. The two could be a very happy pairing, but for now all we have on the iTV is an awful lot of rumours.

When is it coming? TBC. Maybe never.

Read more about the Apple iTV UK release date, price and specs.

GAMING

Best new tech 2014/2015: Steam Boxes

Why is it exciting? Valve’s SteamOS is one of the biggest talking points in tech right now. SteamOS is an operating system dedicated to gaming. Valve hopes that SteamOS, when paired with hardcore hardware and the Steam games platform, will allow PC makers to create Steam Boxes (also known as Steam Machines): devices somewhere between games consoles and PCs, featuring the plus points of both.

When are they coming? 2015.

Read more about Steam Boxes UK release date, price and specs.

Best new tech 2014/2015: Sony PlayStation TV (PlayStation Vita TV)

Why is it exciting? Sony announced PlayStation TV at E3 2014, a micro-console that was until now exclusively available in Japan as the PlayStation Vita TV and that can allow gamers to play PS4 games on a second screen.

We’ve already seen a wealth of iPhone 6 leaks claiming to show a larger handset in the works, and the latest set of images to hit the web continue in this vein.

Spotted over on MyDrivers, the photos in question were apparently snapped at the factory where the iPhone 6 is being manufactured in China.

The front panel of the iPhone 6 is seen in both black and white, lined up alongside the 4-inch frontage of either the iPhone 5 or 5S, showing the size increase we could be in for.

Hands at the ready

An image of the panel in a hand shows how a larger iPhone will stretch the palm a little more than the current 4-inch setup, so you might want to start some hand exercises in preparation.

Of course there’s no guarantee these shots are legit, as they can be mocked up without a huge amount of effort – although they do reflect earlier leaks of the front panel so we’re not ruling them out immediately.

The iPhone 6 is expect to launch in either September or October this year, with recent reports pegging the release date as September 19.

In a post entitled “Machine Learning: Bane or Blessing for Mankind?,” I noted that the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking along with his colleagues Stuart Russell, Max Tegmark, and Frank Wilczek recommend moving cautiously in the development of artificial intelligence …

Symantec has unveiled the first public betas of its forthcoming Norton security products. Norton Security 2015 Beta and Norton Security with Backup 2015 Beta reveal the company’s attempt to harmonise its two main security products. Download Norton Security 2015 here.

Both products sport a redesigned user interface based on the old Norton 360 product, plus sport a number of major new protection and performance improvements.

The first change that users will note are the product names, with Norton Security 2015 replacing Norton Internet Security and Norton Security with Backup 2015 replacing Norton 360 respectively. The name change is logical and – some might say – long overdue, bringing both products closer together.

The new user interface has been modelled Norton’s 360 product rather than the previous version of Internet Security, splitting the program’s features into easily identifiable tabs. Security, Identity, Performance and More Norton (a link to additional Norton products) can be found in both products, while an additional Backup tab is added to the Norton Security with Backup 2015 interface.

Clicking a section reveals four separate buttons, such as scans, LiveUpdate, History and Advanced for the program’s Security section. Symantec hopes the new approach makes the program simpler to use and its advanced features more accessible.

The 2015 release also debuts what Symantec terms its “next generation” anti-malware engine, which uses cloud-based technologies to evaluate files as they’re accessed for potential malware. Switching to cloud-based analysis means updates and definitions can be pushed out quicker to customers, but it also reduces the size of locally stored definition files by 80 per cent.

Norton Security 2015 also rebuilds its browser protection features to make them “plug-in less”. This allows them to work outside of traditional browser plug-in architectures, which increases the scalability of its protection.

Protection against social engineered attacks has also been increased, with Norton’s existing tools, such as Safe Web, Download Insight and Anti-Phishing, all now tweaked to more easily share information with each other to deliver better protection.

Norton’s SONAR engine – which is used to detect brand new threats based on their behaviour – has also been improved to make it more effective against malware that is able to inject malicious threads into trusted application processes as well as programs that attempt to drop malicious files on the system.

The new builds also sport various performance improvements, including better energy conservation of batteries when the computer is in standby.

Both Norton Security 2015 Beta and Norton Security with Backup 2015 Beta are available as a trial downloads now for PCs running Windows XP or later. When released, both versions will be available to those running Norton Internet Security or Norton 360 with a valid subscription as a free update. See also: Norton Security with Backup 2015 Beta

The OnePlus One is probably the best deal for a smartphone in 2014. However, rumours are already appearing about a follow-up OnePlus Two model. See also: OnePlus One review: bargain flagship Android is best deal smartphone of 2014.

The interesting thing here is that although the OnePlus One costs just £229 while offering the spec of a £500 smartphone, you can only buy it if you have an invite. Well that hasn’t stopped information appearing about the next model. See also: We investigate the OnePlus One mini and OnePlus One tablet – what’s coming next from OnePlus?

OnePlus Two release date rumours

While the OnePlus One was codenamed ‘bacon’, according to the reliable evleaks, the OnePlus Two has been tagged ‘lettuce’. There’s little to gather from this apart from the supposed existence of another smartphone. See also: 35 best smartphones of 2014 UK.

OnePlus One:Bacon::OnePlus [Two]:Lettuce – http://t.co/3VObvK2seZ

— @evleaks (@evleaks) July 10, 2014

The CyanogenMod Android version which runs on the OnePlus is referred to as ‘bacon’ so perhaps the OnePlus Two will come with an updated edition.

It’s unclear when the OnePlus Two will be announced but it seems unlikely to be any time soon since the original is still only available via invitation. However, OnePlus will be announcing something this month.

On its Google page, the firm posted an image (top of page) teasing ‘knock on wood’ with the date 22 July. There are two main possibilities here; either a new wooden rear cover for the OnePlus One or a proper launch for the phone meaning anyone can buy it without the need for an invite – or both.

Let us know what you think OnePlus will announce later this month and what you would want from a OnePlus Two in the comments below. We’ll keep you up to date as soon as we hear more.

We’re not a naturally suspicious lot here at TechRadar towers, but when WiG’s normal writer does this one day, and then is so ill he simply cannot drag himself out of his bed the next, we’re perfectly okay with blaming Google Glass. ARG indeed.

But, while he’s desperately searching for a couple of health packs to get back in the game, we’re grumpily climbing down from our sniper’s nest and readying a jar of jarate and a machete so we can cut to the chase and bring you the pick of this week’s gaming news.

Phoning it in

Apparently kids today are quite into these smartphone things – although we’re not entirely sure where the analogue joystick plugs in so we’re sticking with our old school gaming for the time being.

Microsoft, however, appears to have twigged the fact that Xbox is kind of a big deal with gamers, and smartphones are kind of a big deal with gamers. Thus, at one of the company’s brainstorming session, some bright spark has clearly drawn a parallel and blue-sky-thought his way into CEO Satya Nadella’s office.

"Boss! This Xbox thing could be more than just a box below your television," he probably didn’t intone. To which Nadella almost certainly would have responded by showing off his Smart Glass app and then ploughing on with his company missive where he points to Xbox as kind of a big deal. And also phones. And probably both together at some point.

In an interesting happenstance, TechRadar’s own gaming columnist Aoife Wilson has also been doing a bit of mind-showering – and Nadella could do a lot worse than give her 14 features the Xbox One needs to be a kick ass console a thorough read.

We’re choosing to assume that 15 would have been ‘exclusive built-in copy of Half Life 3’ because that’s the way we roll.

Arbitrary

Xbox’s great friends at Sony are probably getting a bit suspicious that the Xbox One Set top entertainment box is actually a games console in disguise, but while they cast puzzled glances at their erstwhile buddies in Redmond they can also surreptitiously pull out one of those weird party hooter things and toot up the news that 100 million people have now bought a PS4, PS3 or PS Vita.

We’re not entirely sure why this is a particularly huge deal. If they included the PS2 they’d have hit the figure back in 1962, but we’re all for slightly meaningless stat-driven triumphalism (did we mention that 100 million people have read Week in Gaming if you also count all of our phone reviews towards the total?).

You know what would have sucked PlayStation fans? 2GB of RAM – that would have sucked harder than Dyson’s favourite product encountering the particularly luxurious deep-pile shag rug that WiG’s normal writer keeps in his love parlour.

We literally have phones with that amount of memory guys, but if the bean counters had got their way that would have been your PS4.

And your shiny hard-drive? Wave that goodbye if the accountants had won. And if the accountants had had their way what kind of gaming machine would they have had to spend their ludicrous bonuses on? Eh? Eh?

Samsung-star

There’s this big Korean company you gamers might not have come across called ‘Samsung’ – who have apparently built up something of a head of steam in those tech backwaters ‘television’ and ‘mobile phones’ and ‘everything else that isn’t consoles’.

But, if you are excited by Oculus Rift, or Morpheus or wearing something that looks like divers goggles – then perhaps you should sit up and take notice, because Sammy’s Gear VR mask is apparently close to a public showing.

We can’t tell you if this render is accurate, but we can tell you that having those big trendy square spectacles is simply not cool any more – diver masks that completely block out your vision but magic you to another world are clearly the new black.

Want some more proof? Have a gander at Chris Smith’s article talking about VR being the future of gaming. And probably life. Why augment reality when you can live in a reality where you don’t need to eat*?

So. There we have it. 7 days of awesomeness, wrapped up into a tiny ball and lobbed carelessly into the trashcan of your mind. Next week – this guy will have recovered from Google Glass enabled lurgy. "Google Glass! Call my doctor!"

IBM’s recent announcements of three new services based in Watson technology make it clear that there is pressure in the enterprise software space to incorporate new technologies, both in hardware and software, in order to keep pace with modern business. It seems …
